I use Openbox but the only thing I do with it is Alt-Tab between windows so I suppose I could do with whatever. Actually if you have X and a WM the purpose of a "desktop" eludes me - why do you want it? To make everything have the same "look and feel"? But isn't that what the GFX programming library and WM do? I believe Gnome and KDE were efforts when the Mac and PC (Windows) were big on desktops - should be the Windows 95-era? People that came to Linux didn't recognize it to be a computer system and it made no sense to them. However to then bring over the desktop seems a bit illogical because don't people come to Linux because they don't like what they had before? Nowadays I suppose Gnome isn't even a DE anymore. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
